Hurry Up, Reach Me (10/25/15)

Posted on October 25, 2015November 11, 2015 by Millicent

Hurry-Up-Reach-MeI don’t have any friend besides Love.

Love was with me before I came into this world, and It is with me still.

Soul yells, “O lazy one on Love’s way,

Ergin, Rubailer, V. 1, Page 17

You Are Still Alive (10/11/15)

You are satisfied, but I haven’t had enough of this drink.

I am annihilated, but you are still alive.

The millstone turns and cries quietly

As long as water flows through the canal.
